Summary

Greetings, Graph Gang! This week we have a look at using Neo4j with Kafka Streams, how to build a GRANDstack application to analyze football transfers, a beta release of Spring Data Neo4j RX, a guide for learning Cypher in 30 minutes, an overview of the new role based access control features coming in Neo4j 4.0, a look at NLP with graphs, a guide to knowledge graphs, a how-to on cloning subgraphs between Neo4j instances using RDF, a video example of using the Hume insights engine, and building an organization graph. Our featured community members this week are Nathan Smith and Erin Schuberth, who have started the Kansas City Graph Databases Meetup Group to spread the knowledge and understanding of graph databases. David Allen walks through an example of how to integrate graph analytics together with Kafka using Neo4j Streams Kafka integration and Graph Algorithms. Mark Needham takes us into the world of using GraphQL with Neo4j in his post Football Transfers Graph App with the GRANDstack Starter Kit. Gerrit Meier and Michael Simons announce the first beta release of Spring Data ⚡️ RX, a new implementation of Spring Data Neo4j that will leverage the new reactive capability coming to Neo4j but also support an imperative synchronous programming model. Paul O’Neill covers the new role based access control features included in the recent Neo4j 4.0 MR2 release in his post Neo4j 4.0 RBAC – an exploration (with examples). Vlad Batushkov published a tutorial on Learn Neo4j Cypher Basics In 30 Minutes, which shows how to use Neo4j Sandbox and Neo4j Browser, and covers graph data modeling, data import, and Cypher querying using graph patterns. Jesús Barrasa has published Cloning Subgraphs Between Neo4j Instances With Cypher & RDF, and Soham Dhodapkar wrote Accelerating Towards Natural Language Search with Graphs which shows how graphs can be leveraged for Natural Language Processing using tools such as NLTK, SpaCy, CoreNLP, and the GraphAware NLP plugin for Neo4j. Christophe Willemsen published a video demo of importing and analyzing research papers using Hume, a knowledge graph platform built on top of Neo4j. Dean Wilson published an update in his series about Building the Organization Graph showing how to enrich the graph with third-party systems. Akash Tandon wrote an overview of knowledge graphs: Reconciling Your Data and the World with Knowledge Graphs. Our tweet of the week is a sneak peek at a talk from our upcoming NODES online conference, where The Codex will deliver a presentation titled, "Building a Graph of History with The Codex."
